exactly... I think the original article got published early as the trusted reviews link is absent...

but yes. I can't see any space for the antenna though....

I just had a thought actually. Doesn't the pi3 wi-fi use the same USB as the ethernet and such? In which case they would need to add a USB hub into the zero to be able to add the wireless? Or am i just talking garbage? :|

It uses the 'SDIO' pins, so no USB needed at all, and without using any GPIO pins (the SDIO pins they use are on the CPU itself, and not broken out on the normal Pis .. the compute module has them however.

Ah yeah I remember now. It's just something in the article doesn't feel right.

I'm hoping it's true and it's one that has been leaked by the manufacturing chain or something, but it's odd that this small blog I have never heard of has the scoop

It didn't. It scraped the article when it went live but didn't pull it when trusted pulled theirs ;)

CONFIRMED, just got an email:
https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-w

edit: I am so sick of the fact that you can only order 1... It really sucks if you have to pay for international postage for just a single item... I hoped they would have better stock by now... Unlike the RPi 0
